"I feel like I'm back in Texas," says Robert Williamson III. "I never thought I'd be playing at the World Series of Poker in the back room." He's in an isolated corner behind a wall in the poker room.

Right before the break, on a flop of {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, Williamson is on the big blind and checks. An opponent bets 250 and Williamson calls.

The turn is {A-Hearts} and both check.

The river is {5-Diamonds} and Williamson checks. The opponent bets 1,000 and Williamson calls. Williamson shows {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and wins the pot. The other player shows a 4 and mucks. Williamson has 24,000.
